They even managed to get rid of the name of the village incorporated along with other possessions of the neighboring in th Community of Gherardesca. Up to 800 descendants continued to claim the feudal privileges clashing with the determined opposition of the inhabitants. Were driven out only in 1849. The name Carducci was added in 1907 in honor of the famous poet who lived there his youth and his father, the most firm opponents of the counts.
